WHERE else would you find the White Rabbit, the King and Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter all in one place?

In Wonderland, of course – and that’s where Church Village theatre company ARC Entertainers will take audiences when they tell the enchanting tale of Alice in Wonderland.

The pantomime will be staged at Neuadd Dowlais Community Centre, Crown Hill, from February 23 to 26 for a half-term treat.

A hit with adults and children alike, Lewis Carroll’s classic tale of Alice’s adventures in Wonderland was given a new lease of life last year when director Tim Burton released his computer-animated fantasy film version starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Stephen Fry.

ARC Entertainers hope their pantomime version of Alice’s childhood adventures will captivate audiences with a script packed full of jokes and family fun.

Director Wendy Gazzard, who plays Tweedledee, one half of the show’s comedy duo, said: “Alice in Wonderland is one of my favourite pantomimes – it’s not often you get a show where most of the main characters are animals, so rehearsals are sometimes challenging, but the story is so unique.

“And I’ve really enjoyed playing one of the funny roles – it’s a great feeling to be able to make the audience laugh and enjoy themselves.”

Alice in Wonderland starts at 7.15pm nightly from Wednesday to Friday, with a matinee at 2.15pm on Saturday.
